South Gippsland Golf Women's Bowl at Woorayl Golf Club – Friday 15th November 2024![]()
Forty-two women from the district competed in the final South Gippsland event for 2024 on Friday. It was hosted by Woorayl Golf Club who presented the course in excellent condition, provided a sumptuous lunch and ‘organised’ the glorious weather.![]()
As is often the way, the host club also provided the winning team. Linda Forrester 28 pts, Lyn Delaney 36 pts and Sherril Winkler 34 pts had a combined score of 98 to win on a count back. The unlucky group from Korumburra, were Kerrie Besley, Shelley Snooks and Julie Hillberg, all very closely related (sisters).![]()
In the individual divisions the winners were A Grade Kerrie Besley (Korumburra) 36 pts, B Grade Pauline Lancaster (Woorayl) 38 pts while Lyn Delaney also from Woorayl was the winner of C Grade with 36 points.![]()
The nearest the pins were won by Heather Poletti (Meeniyan) on the 11th, with Jenny Cope also from Meeniyan on the 17th.![]()
Down the line balls went to 35 pts Geraldine Sinclair (Foster), 34pts Inge Giliam (Woorayl), Bec Thomas (Leongatha), Dot Christie (Meeniyan), Merryn Dear (Wonthaggi), Lyn Leppin (Korumburra), 33pts Jo McNaughton (Leongatha), Shelley Snooks (Korumburra), 32pts Kim Embom (Korumburra) and Marion Walker (Wonthaggi)![]()
The South Gippsland Golf match committee would like to extend thanks to the Women’s Captain, Janet Thompson for her excellent organisation of the day and to the grounds staff for the wonderful presentation of their course.![]()
It is very commonplace for golfers to lose golf balls, but the SGGI women’s match committee are very perplexed at being unable to find the SGGI Bowl (hence the ‘alternate bowl’ used in the photo). All clubs have been contacted and all local engravers - but to date no luck – if anyone can assist with its whereabouts it would be greatly appreciated.![]()
Players will have to wait until February 7th 2025, before our next SGGI event at Foster, the Maree Anderson Opening Day.
